The Belgian Supercontainer Concept for Radioactive Waste Geological Disposal
Study of the Concrete Buffer Thermo‐Hydric Behavior
In the framework of the study of a new concept for the geological disposal of high level radioactive waste in Belgium, a project of a supercontainer has been considered and studied. It is composed of a cylindrical concrete buffer containing two radioactive waste canisters to be inserted within an underground gallery. The main goal of this study is to estimate the Thermo‐Hydric behavior of the concrete buffer in situation of service. Water (liquid and vapour) and heat transfers are described through coupled differential equations by the means of a procedure developed at the CEA and implemented in the CAST3M code. Two different configurations for the concrete buffer are investigated: concrete cured with no water loss or partially dried. The simulations make it possible to estimate in particular the evolution of the vapour pressure and liquid saturation.
